SOUTH CAROLINA

The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the Jewish organization that zealously birddogs the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi groups...complained to Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger about the involvement of Camp Lejeune Marines in the paramilitary exercises and rallies of the White Patriot Party in North Carolina.

The league says the party was formerly known as the Confederate Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Weinberger wrote the ADL that...the three men had been discharged from the Marine Corps for their racist activities...

The Anti-Defamation League performs a public service by calling attention to the activities of violence-prone hate groups.

We just wish that it would direct some of its ire at militant Jewish groups, such as the Jewish Defense League, which are believed to be behind an outbreak of violence and intimidation against Arab citizens in this country.
